Typical hazards & measures
Falls from height
— Install fixed guardrails and safety nets at edges. Require harness systems with certified anchor points for workers near edges. Train all personnel on safe ladder and scaffolding use. Perform regular inspections of all access equipment.
Poor visibility on-site
— Install adequate lighting for night or low-light work. Use high-visibility clothing and reflective signage. Train workers to pause operations during extreme weather conditions like fog or heavy rain.
Fire hazards
— Remove flammable materials from work areas before starting demolition. Store fuels and chemicals in designated fireproof containers. Ensure fire extinguishers and trained fire marshals are readily available on-site.
Overhead power lines
— Maintain a safe clearance distance as per regulations. De-energize or reroute lines when feasible. Use insulated tools and machinery, and assign spotters to oversee work near power lines.
Uncontrolled structural collapse
— Conduct thorough structural surveys. Design and implement a sequenced demolition plan approved by engineers. Install temporary supports or bracing for unstable structures. Use remote-controlled demolition equipment where feasible.
